and ledger if you avoid ledger's most specialised syntax.
and ledger if you avoid ledger's and hledger's more specialised syntax
(or keep it in separate files which you include only when appropriate).
Some ledger syntax is parsed but ignored (such as
[automated transactions](http://ledger-cli.org/3.0/doc/ledger3.html#Automated-Transactions), [periodic transactions](http://ledger-cli.org/3.0/doc/ledger3.html#Periodic-Transactions), and
[historical prices](manual.html#historical-prices)).
Some features are not currently parsed and will cause an error, eg
ledger's more recent top-level directives. There can also be subtle
differences in parser behaviour, eg [hledger comments](manual.html#comments) vs [ledger comments](http://ledger-cli.org/3.0/doc/ledger3.html#Commenting-on-your-Journal).
